Everything happens at Highland Gardens, in Detroit. Detroit · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

6th Annual Highland Park Samhain Ritual Music Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Friday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Detroit are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Free entry
• 18+ event
• Live electronic performers and DJs
• Fire pit
• BYOB

What the trip costs from Paris

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at 6th Annual Highland Park Samhain Ritual Music Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow 6th Annual Highland Park Samhain Ritual Music Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
